Almond Biscuit

Ingredients

• 100 g butter
• 170 g flour
• 70 g sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 70 g ground almond kernels
• 2 drops bitter almond aroma
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

1. 1.

   Knead a smooth dough from the fat, flour, sugar, egg yolk, almonds, bitter almond aroma and salt, wrap in foil and chill for about 1 hour.

2. 2.

   Preheat the oven to 175°C. Roll the dough into finger‑thick logs and cut into 4 cm pieces. Press each piece lightly into small round flower‑shaped molds (or other shapes) of about 4 cm diameter. Place the molds on a sheet and bake on the middle rack for about 10 minutes until golden yellow.

3. 3.

   Immediately tap the biscuits out of the molds (tap the rim gently on a hard surface so they release), cool on a wire rack. Serve with fruit compote to taste and whipped cream.
